Toronto 
Canada’s Lotto Max jackpot has reached a new milestone, with a record-breaking $90 million grand prize available in the next draw on Friday, October 16, 2026.
It is the largest single lottery jackpot ever offered in Canada, surpassing the $85 million jackpot advertised for the October 13 draw.
And the $90 million jackpot is only part of what’s available on Friday.
The upcoming draw will also feature an estimated 18 Maxmillions prizes worth $1 million each, bringing the combined jackpot and Maxmillions prize pool to approximately $108 million.
On top of that, there will be 90 MaxPlus prizes worth $100,000 each, adding another $9 million in potential winnings.
Why Has the Lotto Max Jackpot Reached $90 Million?
The record amount follows changes introduced to Lotto Max in April 2026.
The national lottery increased its maximum jackpot from $80 million to $90 million, making Friday’s draw the first to reach the new ceiling.
The changes also introduced MaxPlus prizes, which offer additional chances to win $100,000 in every draw.
Under the current rules, the number of MaxPlus prizes corresponds to the jackpot amount in millions. That means Friday’s $90 million jackpot comes with 90 MaxPlus prizes.
Maxmillions prizes, meanwhile, become available when the main jackpot reaches $50 million.
How Much Does a Lotto Max Ticket Cost?
A Lotto Max play costs $6 and includes four selections of seven numbers.
Players select seven numbers from 1 to 52, with three additional Quick Pick selections included.
To win the main jackpot, a selection must match all seven main winning numbers. If multiple tickets match, the jackpot is shared.
Lotto Max draws take place every Tuesday and Friday.

- Main jackpot: $90 million
- Maxmillions: Approximately 18 prizes of $1 million each
- MaxPlus: 90 prizes of $100,000 each
